May 15th - Sarah 2 months/Ashley 1/2 marathon!

Saturday, Sarah was 2 months old! I can't believe how

fast the time goes by. The beautiful quilt that she

is laying on, is the quilt Great Aunt LeAnne made

her. It is beautiful. Thank you so much for all the

time and love that went into it.

Starting this past week Chelsea went back to work

for only about 15 hours a week. She drops Sarah

off at our house to have her own little nanny Lindsey,

tend her. She comes every Tuesday, Thursday

and Fridays. On Fridays I am home so I get to

play too! This is after Linds and I gave her a bath.

This was actually 2 days before she was 2 months

and I was having a little photo shoot before Lindsey

stole her away and I left for work.

At her 2 month check up she weighed 10lbs.11oz.

Her weight was 44%, her height was 22 1/2 inches

at 53% and her head was 40.8 cm at 91%!

Look at those wide eyes! She has been smiling

and cooing for about a month now. So much fun!
Chelsea kept asking where her baby pictures were
so I thought I would show you how similar Sarah
looks to Chelsea. This is about the same age as she
is now. (Brad's a little older now :) )
Same wide eyes!

Same little sad face!

Same chunky legs! (I'm a little older now too!)

I obviously just got home from running.

We love you little Sarah. Hopefully you will

grow up to not only look like your Mom,

but be just as wonderful as she is!

Now on to Ashley! A few months ago Ashley

decided to run the Ogden 1/2 marathon. Some

ladies at her work said they would do it too but

Ashley was the only original one that stuck to it

and did it! One day before the race, one of her

co-workers sold her spot to one of Ashley's

good friends, Jenny.

I believe Ashley got up at 3:30 a.m. to get ready.

I crawled out of bed at 3:50 to braid her hair

and drive them to 25th Street in Ogden, where

they were bused up to the starting line,

which was in Eden. At that time in the morning

it was a little chilly! All pumped up ready to go!

I drove back home and at 8:02 a.m. I get

a text that simply said "Blisters" then at

8:11 a.m. I get a text that says "mile eight"!

I hurry and call Dave and told him I'd be to

his house within minutes. We made it there in

about 10 minutes, right before she crossed the

finish line and in time for me to yell to her so she

knew we saw her. She did great!

1 hour 53 minutes! She beat her time. She did

want below 2 hours but had said, for not training

much, she would be happy with 2 hours 15 mins.

Jenny finished 8 minutes ahead of her. (We missed

her finishing) They were pretty excited!

Way to go!

I saw so many of my running friends there.

I was so jealous that I couldn't do it. Maybe

the 5k next year!

Hanging out to wait for their bags. Isn't Dave

a good sport, he said she didn't even stink.

Now is that love or what!

Ashley had bought 2 new pair of shoes in the

last month but they still give her blisters. Dave

carrying her to the car because she asked him

too and once again he does it.

What a fun first half, running down Ogden Canyon!

She was upset because she forgot her head phones

but in the end she loved not having her music on

because she could listen to the river and the people.

Out of 105 girls in her age group, she took 16th place.

The first place girl was just 11 minutes ahead of her.

Jenny took 5th place! She said, "now thats

motivation!" She will be running her

next one June 12th.
